Mental Independence

They say were strange Lazy, underachievers, fools, odd, eccentric They don't got a clue about us Don't got all the facts to separate from myth They don't care about our well-being Castrating mentally disabled from the herd. They say their just a fable An urban myth to cover an excuse For tricky disorders like ADHD and others I'm living proof that breaks the mold I'm an achiever with a dream What makes me weak Just makes me stronger Uniqueness is the new norm Being abnormal is in Normal is over-rated. Tired of being discarded It's time for acceptance To spread awareness for all Mental justice for everyone! Mentality needs nurture Like a seed needs care Make a garden of flora Than a garden of dread. Look with your heart Than your deceiving eyes To see the problem within That it's in there clear as day More physical hidden in sight. Fragility of the mind Is a precious crystal That can crack to pieces If not taken special care So it can shine like the sun. Tired of being pushed around Not being taken seriously Like the other disabilties I'm here to shout out For mental freedom. Time to break the chains That have oppressed us Lets show them That we deserve Mental independence for all.
